If its reliable why doesn't g_file_monitor use it and so become reliable?  And perhaps it is more reliable now, or a better filtering algorithm could be used inside Geany to remove the excess triggers, "somebody" could try since the code is still there, albeit probably bitrotted since it hasn't been enabled..

And the GFiles could come from GVFS so Geany could handle more than just files visible in the local filesystem (without FUSE).
